I was a project manager for the creation of some mainframe software in the year following the introduction of the Macintosh computer. I had 5 programmers on my team and, oh, how they mocked the Mac! They made fun of the mouse. They made fun of the little icons. And they made fun of the people that used one. I didn’t know then how the Mac would change computing, but I felt the interface would catch on. I now think those programmers were feeling threatened by the Mac’s ease of use, and I think that’s at the heart of IT’s dislike of Apple products to this day.
